Preparing for low surface brightness science with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory: characterisation of tidal features from mock images
G. Martin, A. E. Bazkiaei, M. Spavone +50
Tidal features in the outskirts of galaxies yield unique information about their past interactions and are a key prediction of the hierarchical structure formation paradigm. The Ve…
Constraining the lensing of binary black holes from their stochastic background
Riccardo Buscicchio, Christopher J. Moore, Geraint Pratten +3
Gravitational waves (GWs) are subject to gravitational lensing in the same way as electromagnetic radiation. However, to date, no unequivocal observation of a lensed GW transient h…
On building a cluster watch-list for identifying strongly lensed supernovae, gravitational waves and kilonovae
Dan Ryczanowski, Graham P. Smith, Matteo Bianconi +3
Motivated by discovering strongly-lensed supernovae, gravitational waves, and kilonovae in the 2020s, we investigate whether to build a watch-list of clusters based on observed clu…
What does strong gravitational lensing? The mass and redshift distribution of high-magnification lenses
Andrew Robertson, Graham P. Smith, Richard Massey +4
Many distant objects can only be detected, or become more scientifically valuable, if they have been highly magnified by strong gravitational lensing. We use EAGLE and BAHAMAS, two…
LoCuSS: exploring the connection between local environment, star formation and dust mass in Abell 1758
Matteo Bianconi, Graham P. Smith, Chris P. Haines +3
We explore the connection between dust and star formation, in the context of environmental effects on galaxy evolution. In particular, we exploit the susceptibility of dust to exte…
Discovery of Strongly-lensed Gravitational Waves - Implications for the LSST Observing Strategy
Graham P. Smith, Andrew Robertson, Matteo Bianconi +1
LSST's wide-field of view and sensitivity will revolutionize studies of the transient sky by finding extraordinary numbers of new transients every night. The recent discovery of a…
